Just what does the Department of Justice know about Britain’s giant defense contractor BAE Systems that it’s not telling? Apparently plenty, according to a statement tucked away in the bribery-related plea deal that BAE signed on March 1.
In one section about the government-imposed independent monitor lies one sentence that warns the company to listen to its monitor. It states that if BAE rejects a recommendation, the Justice Department could decide to “bring relevant facts to the attention of other parts of the U.S. government.”
